This soup was perfect! I substituted garbanzo beans for the potatoes since I was out and wanted to increase the protein a bit. I will definitely make this again!

Let me start by saying...I am not vegan. I was a part of a "dinner club" that chose a vegan theme. I found this recipe and thought I would give it a try. It was AMAZING. I will definitely be making it again...and I am thrilled that I ran across it. It is easy and very satisfying. The creaminess is a mystery to me...but regardless, it works!

What a wonderful soup. I didn't have peas so I subbed chopped asparagus and it was excellent!

Cut this recipe in half to serve 2, & that worked out about right for us! Really liked the inclusion of the cashews & the peas (along with the other veggies) in this soup! VERY SATISFYING, VERY ENJOYABLE! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for a vegan teammate in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap II]
